Is there any possible method of repairing broken lines in the field?

If you absolutely have to, there is a temporary procedure that can be used on no more than 2 lines per glider. You need to match the material (Aramid/Dyneema) and the diameter to keep the strength characteristics: no parachute cord or clothesline. It is best to obtain a length of main and upper line material for your glider ahead of time and throw it in the Ziploc with the repair tape. Also, any knot will weaken a line, so a good strong knot must be used, like the bowline or figure-eight knot that will retain 85% of the original strength. The length must also match the same line on the other side (within 1 cm).
